Just another a word of caution and advice about prednisone, or steroids in general.
Up until last week, they were a lifesaver for me, but I guess I went to the well once too often, because quite simply, they no longer have any effect on my headaches. None.
It was a very sad day to lose my ace in the hole, so to speak, but there you have it. I guess all I'm saying is don't take them for granted -- and I hasten to add that yes, each time I took them I took them under the neurologist's direction, and I did the standard taper.
